Home > Legal Issues > Governor HaslamTells Brain Injured Tennesseans Their Injuries are not Catastrophic and Tells Tennessee Voters They are Stupid and Must be Controlled from NashvillePosted on June 19, 2011 by Morgan Adams
Governor Haslam has signed a law that states that non-economic damages should be capped in injury (tort) cases In Tennessee at $750,000 in most cases. Now in Tennessee juries are trusted to sentence a man to death, but apparently they are not trusted by the Governor to determine the proper amount of compensation for victims of someone else's wrongdoing in an injury case. There is not even a "three strikes and you're out" rule for really bad people and corporations that are repeat offenders!
Whether you agree or disagree with jury limits doesn't really matter, as the Tennessee Legislature and Governor Haslam can pass whatever legislation they want, and apparently they wanted to limit the amount of non-economic damages that can be received from someone injured by a wrongdoer. The new law is flawed in several aspects in my opinion.
First there is the hypocrisy in allowing "unlimited" damages against those that commit intentional acts. That sounds great but the Governor and legislators know that NO INSURANCE POLICY IN TENNESSEE WILL PAY FOR AN INTENTIONAL ACT. It is EXCLUDED from the policy. Thus an an injured victim will likely get less money, not more, if you prove the defendant acted intentionally. It sounds good on a stump speech, but in reality this section of the law gives nothing and takes away everything form the injured. The Governor could have easily required insurance companies to cover these acts, but chose not to do so.
The second level of the legislature's and Governor's hypocrisy is that juror's WONT BE TOLD that there are limits in place. They believe that they helped someone, when in reality the government took it away and made them sweat out determining the amount of non-economic damages above $750,000 in the jury room for NO PURPOSE.
The final part of this tragedy is that the Governor will allow some catastrophically injured Tennesseans to receive more than others. There is a special category for "catastrophic loss," which would raise the cap for non-economic damages in cases involving serious spinal cord injuries, severe burns, some severe multiple amputations, or the death of a parent of minor children. Now this new law excludes parents of adult special needs children, children taking care of the elderly (don't worry, they can go to a state run nursing home), victims with brain injuries, twenty year olds who have to wear diapers, or a bag, to catch excrement and waste fluids, chronic pain, etc...
Shouldn't we let a jury, on a case by case basis, decide if these cases are catastrophic after hearing the all facts? Shouldn't we let a jury decide that if you kill enough Tennesseans, you are going to get put out of business? Do parents taking care of special needs adult children, really deserve less than parents taking care of minor children? The Governor and legislature chose to take away these choices from the jury. Some Tennesseans are now more different than others and none of us are as special as corporations.
Many of my clients are brain injured, and catastrophically so, even if they are able to walk and talk. Their lives, as they knew them prior to the wreck, are over. In many case their personalities have changed. They died, but their life goes on. I find it arbitrary, and frankly an abuse of power, that the Governor has decided who can be catastrophically injured in advance of knowing all the facts. That Nashville knows better than a jury of 12 Tennesseans. I guess I trust the people of Tennessee more than those in office now. Voter's of Tennessee, your governor and your legislature just called you too stupid to do what is right in a jury box. (they also called the Judge, lawyers in the case, the Courts of Appeal and the Tennessee Supreme Court too stupid to get it as well, but hey, they were on a roll.) Voters you need to remember this come November.
Two Suffer Minor Injuries as Their Car Flips
AppId is over the quota
A couple received minor injuries when their car was hit at the intersection of Third Street and Simpson Ave. on September 5 in Ocean View. Robert and Roberta Henry’s Toyota Camry was hit by a Honda Accord driven by Joan Gillen. After being pushed a short distance, the car flipped and landed on its roof.
According to police, Robert Henry ran a stop sign at Simpson Avenue. Gillen then impacted the driver’s side door. After crawling to safety, the Henrys were treated at Shore Memorial Hospital for minor injuries. Gillen was uninjured.
In what could have been a tragic accident, we are deeply thankful that the Henrys’ injuries were only minor and that Ms. Gillen is injury-free.
Running a Stop Sign: A Simple Mistake?
Although the injuries were minor, the Henrys’ accident demonstrates the danger of running stop signs. What turned out to be a minor accident could have easily been a tragic one. In 1999 and 2000, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), 13,627 cars were involved in fatal accidents that resulted from a driver running a stop sign.
For some drivers, stop signs don’t seem to have the authority of traffic lights. They stand lower, and drivers can decide when to advance. They aren’t photo enforced. But they are the same as traffic lights in one very important way: by ignoring them, you could be killed – or you could kill someone else.
At Console & Hollawell, our NJ personal injury attorneys are familiar with the tragic results of the failure to take stop signs seriously. Running a stop sign is never a simple mistake, and it is often a deadly one.
Are you the Victim of a Failure to Stop Accident?
If someone ran stop sign and hit the vehicle you were driving or riding in, contact a NJ car accident lawyer at Console & Hollawell today. Whether the driver came to a “rolling stop” or simply ignored the sign, the driver must be held accountable for failing to stop completely.
For over 17 years, our NJ personal injury attorneys have helped accident victims recover damages for medical expenses, pain and suffering and property damage. If another driver’s actions have left you with injuries or property damage, speak with one of our NJ personal injury attorneys today.

We have written several times in the course of our law firm personal stance on red light cameras at Texas crossroads, but really, a new study proves what we all think together. In the first nationwide study of its kind of the Texas Transportation Institute a 25 percent drop in crashes at intersections with red light cameras found.

Released the report Monday Dallas had a 38-percent drop in red light crashes at intersections where cameras to had been and run for two years and Fort Worth, Texas saw a 24 percent reduction in collisions which had installed cameras for a year.
Nothing is sure, perfect. These cameras can make mistakes, but you can always contest your red light camera violation.

Wanted: Place to get drunk drivers in Texas their mug on billboards?
We all know the PSA law enforcement agencies, "Drink, drive, go to jail" from Texas but for the people of San Antonio, it is not only prison time, you will receive. Digital billboards in the San Antonio area now have the names and photos of suspected drunken drivers who are looking for.
It is a new effort by the police and authorities in Bexar County, crime to get criminals and people wanted to attack or walk homicide charges such as intoxication. The program is sponsored by mothers against drunk driving and use of over a dozen electronic billboards has donated by clear channel outdoor were.
What would it take, to get these billboards in North Texas? I think this is a good idea, and not just because I work as a personal injury lawyer, the drunk driving accident treated cases. For me who should drive drunk and complete disrespect of the law publicly humiliated. Not only more would catch these criminals, but I think that it would discourage people who drive under the influence of alcohol. What to make whatever works on our roads safer is fine with me - and I never, however, really funny mug shot either.
What do you think? If you want to see these types of billboards in Fort Worth? Do you think it would help to make people of smarter driver?

Their violation of the Virginia medical malpractice contributed? Does not return nothing except
Contributory negligence means that if were negligent or careless in any way, and it was a factor for your injury, you probably can get no compensation. Your doctor might be 99% responsible for your painful injuries, but you would be 1 percent guilt, you will win your case. It may be not fair, but it's the law.
The study of the comparative negligence is used in most other States and damage are based on the percentage of negligence. For example, if the jury decides that you responsible were partially for your own injuries, would reduce your damages proportionately.
Although Virginia's contributory negligence is not ideal for plaintiff law, it will be most likely in the coming years. Virginia will therefore continue to recover one of the toughest States in the nation to damages in medical malpractice claims.

Virginia surgeons have to their patients to avoid mistakes, ID
Just imagine you go to the hospital for removal of a cyst on the neck and wake up missing a kidney. Sounds like something out of a horror film, doesn't it? Unfortunately, this is a patient an actual type of surgical errors that can occur when not correctly identify the hospital staff before and during the operation.
There are many excuses making hospitals for wrong-patient surgery. Miscommunication is the chief culprit, because there are so many people in a single procedure. Nurses, surgeons, anaesthetists, pharmacists, and even the staff at reception are all involved in the proper identification of the patient.
Time is called sometimes known as a cause of surgical errors when running a procedure, on the wrong patient. When surgical team crashed a patient in surgery are to receive, especially if the procedure is an emergency they often neglect to perform the proper security checks to identify the patient.
Another reason for patients false identification is given that mixed the same last name 2 patients and got have. Hospitals identify every person with a wrist band, and it doesn't take long, with a chart to compare. Even with such defense is a form of negligence patients false identification.
Negligent nursing staff is the cause of almost all surgical errors. You should go into surgery knowing that you a trusted, experienced medical staff watches over you during the procedure have. Surgical due to errors of negligence are the reasons for a Virginia medical malpractice claim which may be the only way the damage be restored can, which you see your op team negligence suffered.

Governor Haslam tells brain injured people and parents of special needs children, their injuries are not disastrous

This quota may be increased by changing the MaxStringContentLength property on the XmlDictionaryReaderQuotas object used when creating the XML reader. Line 1, position 9158.
Governor Haslam has proposed that non-economic damages should be capped in injury (tort) cases. In Tennessee juries are trusted to sentence a man to death, but apparently the Governor does not trust a jury, in injury cases, to determine the proper amount of compensation for victims of someone else’s wrongdoing. Did you get that? Governor Haslam is protecting the wrongdoers at the expense of their victims. This law does not apply to corporations, only to people like you and me. Corporations, who can only be injured economically, get every penny a jury finds owed to them, even if it is a lot.
Whether you agree or disagree with that doesn't really matter, as the Tennessee Legislature is controlled by Governor Haslam's party and they can pass whatever legislation they want. Apparently they want to limit the amount of non-economic damages that can be received from someone injured by a wrongdoer.
So what does this mean? First, let’s talk about the wrongdoers.
If you intentionally injure someone in the process of committing a crime (that doesn't constitute a felony) you don't have to pay as much. The Governor is going to protect you from a runaway Tennessee Jury! The Governor is looking out for the rights of Mr. Wrongdoer and the victims' damages are going to be capped. (Lets be fair, the money coming to you as compensation for your actual damages will be limited or capped, there is still a chance to get punitive damages, but these are rarely awarded and, if they are awarded, are taxable. So the only full damages you get in these case are the ones in which the government gets a part.). A sexual abuse victim has personal problems? "Suck it up" says the Governor. The wrongdoer causes your child or spouse to be brain injured so that they can never interact socially with their class or peers? Move on says the Governor, “I need to protect these wrongdoers.” So that is the first part of the reform Governor Haslam feels compelled to pass on behalf of the wrongdoers in the state of Tennessee.
The second part of this tragedy is that the Governor will allow some catastrophically injured Tennesseans to receive more than others. According to KnoxNews.com The administration late last week released changes to the bill that would create a special category for "catastrophic loss," which would raise the cap for non-economic damages in cases involving serious spinal cord injuries, severe burns or the death of a parent of minor children. Now these few categories excludes all brain injuries, apparently they are not catastrophic. Having to wear a urine drainage bag or diapers to catch your excrement and fluids as a twenty year old, chronic pain, etc... not catastrophic. Unable to ever have children because of someones wrongdoing? Not catastrophic. Does the Governor really believe he is all seeing and all knowing? Shouldn't we let a jury, on a case by case basis, decide this after hearing all the facts? I guess if you don’t trust the people of the state of Tennessee to do the right thing…
Now I have to admit many of my clients are brain injured, and catastrophically so even if they are able to walk and talk. Their lives, as they knew them prior to the wreck, are over. In many cases their personalities have changed and they are not the same spouse or parent they used to be. They get divorced and estranged from their kids. They have to move in with their children and need to be monitored. They essentially died, but their life goes on.
This bill will impact many of my clients with brain injuries, and they will get less, and their families will get less. I find it arbitrary, and frankly an abuse of power, that the Governor has decided who can be classed as catastrophically injured in advance of knowing all the facts. I believe he should leave it up to a jury of 12 Tennesseans, hearing the facts of a case, to decide the issue.
Then their are the parents of special needs children. If you die it is not a catastrophic loss according to the Governor. Only if the children are minors can you get more, but still not the full amount of your damages. If you have adult special needs children? So sorry, you are out of luck. That is not catastrophic says the Governor. Take care of a parent that now needs to go into a nursing home? Not catastrophic says the Governor. It seems to me that if the legislature allowed catastrophic damages to any Tennessean that dies with a dependent it would be fairer (still limited in recovery, but at least not pitting one group against another and saying you don't deserve as much as others with dependents.).
Finally, no one, not even the judge, can tell members of the jury this travesty is happening. After the jury renders a fair verdict, the judge is required to cut it down and make it unfair to the victim. Note that if the original verdict was against the evidence, and unfair to the defendant, the law already requires the verdict to be reduced. This new law only impacts victims.
A copy of the Governor's shameful bill may be found here. You don’t think this is fair? Call your state representatives now (you can find your representatives here), but don’t expect them to change their minds, because you are just the sort of whacked out Tennessee citizen that might one day be on a jury... and the Governor doesn't trust you.
The Governor's proposed law, relevant sections in bold:
29-39-102.
(a) In any personal injury or wrongful death action, the prevailing
plaintiff may be awarded:
(1) Compensation for economic damages suffered by the

(b) If multiple defendants are found liable under the principle of
comparative fault, the amount of all noneconomic damages, not to
exceed seven hundred fifty thousand dollars ($750,000) for each injured
plaintiff, shall be apportioned among the defendants based upon the
percentage of fault for each defendant, so long as the plaintiff's
comparative fault is not equal to or greater than fifty percent (50%).
(c) All noneconomic damages awarded to each injured plaintiff,
including damages for pain and suffering, as well as any claims of a
spouse or children for loss of consortium or any derivative claim for

noneconomic damages, as set forth in subsections (a)(2) through (c) may

minor children.
(f) The limitation on the amount of noneconomic damages
imposed by subsections (a)(2) through (e) shall not apply to actions
brought for damages or an injury resulting from an act or omission by a
defendant:
(1) If the defendant committed an act or omission that
would constitute a felony under the laws of this state or under
federal law and that act or omission caused the damages or
injuries; or
(2) If the defendant was under the influence of alcohol or
under the influence of drugs other than lawfully prescribed drugs
administered in accordance with a prescription.

Governor HaslamTells brain injured people their injuries Tennessee not fateful and told voters they are stupid are and must be controlled from Nashville
Governor Haslam has signed a law that says that non-economic damages in injury (tort) in Tennessee at $750,000 in most cases should be limited. Now in Tennessee, juries are trusted so that you have a to condemn a man to death, but apparently they are not trusted by the Governor, other misconduct in the case of a breach to determine, the right amount of compensation for victims of someone. There is not even a "three strikes and you are out" rule for really bad people and companies, are the repeat offenders!
Whether you agree or disagree with jury borders doesn't really matter, such as the Tennessee legislature and Governor Haslam which legislation passed they want, and they can non-economic damages that injured can be received by someone from a wrongdoer apparently wanted the limit. The new law is flawed in some respects my opinion.
There is first the hypocrisy in so that the intentional acts to "unlimited" damages against those. The Governor and legislature sounds great, but, that number will pay insurance policy IN TENNESSEE for an intentional act. It is excluded from the directive. So a an injured victims probably receive less money no longer, if you prove the defendant willfully traded. It sounds good on a speech stump, but in reality in this section of the law, nothing is, and everything takes form the injured. The Governor could have easily need to cover these acts of insurance companies, but decided not to do.
The second level of the legislature and the Governor is hypocrisy, juror wont be said that there are limits. They believe that they helped someone, when in reality the Government took it on and they sweat made non-economic damages of 750,000 in the jury room of determining the amount no. purposes.
The last part of this tragedy is that the Governor more than others receive allows some catastrophically injured people. There is a special category for "catastrophic loss", which some serious cross-cutting problems, severe burns, the CAP for non-economic damages in cases where serious multiple amputations or the death of a parent of minor children would increase. Now, this new law includes the parents of adult special needs children, children takes care of older people (don't worry, they can go, perform a state nursing home), victims, chronic pain, etc. Hirnverletzte, twenty-year-old, the diapers or a bag to catch, faeces and waste wear...
Let should not we decide a jury, on a case by case basis, whether these cases are disastrous after hearing all the facts? Let should not we choose a jury, that when you kill enough people, you are out to get out of business? Parents have under the supervision of disabled adult children, really earn less than parents take care of minors? The Governor and the legislature chose to take these decisions of the jury. Some people are now more than any other different and company are none of us something special.
Many of my clients are injured, brain and disastrously so, even if they are able to walk and talk. Their lives, they are as in they knew to the wreck, over. In many cases, their personalities have changed. She died, but their life goes on. I think it is arbitrary, and honest said an abuse of power that the Governor has decided, in the run-up to know all the facts can be catastrophically injured. The Nashville knows better than a jury of 12 further. I guess I more than that in the hope the people of Tennessee now. Voter's Tennessee, just referred you to do your Governor and your legislature, what correctly in a jury box is stupid. (it is also as judges, lawyers in the case of the courts of appeal and the Tennessee Supreme Court too stupid, get it also, but hey, they have been on a roll.) Voters, they must come November.
Their spouse: Other accident victims
In a serious accident in Georgia, such as where a car collides with a pedestrian, the victim of a vehicle is not the only person who suffers a severe loss. Often, when the victim of an accident is suffering from severe physical or psychological trauma, can his/her spouse also suffered a profound loss.
Spouse a victims lose their companion of love, services, support and sexual affection.
Some people can find family by discussing the intimate relationship that is difficult to share them with their spouse. But just because intimacy in a relationship is estimated that the law for the compensation it can recognize its loss as a violation. If you the spouse of a victim and damage your favorite, you you the relationship has robbed, you once are shared with your spouse, you can claim for compensation for this loss. Montlick and Associates, attorneys at law, we have that already, suffering serious injuries and the families of those wrongful death in very Georgia more than 27 years suffer. We have seen the devastating toll that catastrophic injuries of a loved one can add a spouse and use our efforts to ensure that the value is submitted that this loss of an insurance company or a judge and jury.
Georgia recognizes law damages "Consortium." Loss of Consortium allows the spouse of a victim for damages in a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit against the party responsible for the loss of the spouse, the company, affection and comfort as a whole, as well as an increase in the demands and pressures by the entire examination at the innocent spouse caused restore. The measure of damage is to compensate the spouse of the victim's accident is deprived of the intimacy and closeness, which share a few.
It can recover to considerable damage for loss of Consortium be difficult. The damages are based on more than embarrassment, humiliation or anxiety. There must be actual injuries suffered by a victim and the victim's spouse to their relationship. Juries tend to forgive not significant damages for loss of Consortium, if the damage to the marital relationship due to the seriousness and the extent of the injury is significant Georgia.
